“Odd Thomas is a fry-cook in a small restaurant in his hometown of Pico Munco, CA. He has few ambitions, except perhaps moving from cook to tire-salesman, and marrying his true love Stormy. Odd Thomas can see the dead. He sometimes can help them move on by finding their murderer or something else which keeps them from passing on to the final resting place. He sometimes travels with Elvis, who came to Pico Mundo after he died and likes to ride with Odd as they listen to his old music on the CD player.
Koontz has created a unique and fascinating character in Odd. Surrounded by his friends who aid and assist him, and his parents who do little but continue to make his life miserable. Koontz brings us the horror he is known for, but a lot of human characters and even some humor along the way. Hey, you can't go wrong an Elvis who can walk on the water of swimming pools and still ogle women after he's died.”
